Hope is the thing with feathers
by Emily Dickinson
"Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -
And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -
I’ve heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.
"Hope is the Thing with Feathers" by Emily Dickinson

Longing
by Paul Laurence Dunbar
If you could sit with me beside the sea to-day,
And whisper with me sweetest dreamings o’er and o’er;
I think I should not find the clouds so dim and gray,
And not so loud the waves complaining at the shore.
If you could sit with me upon the shore to-day,
And hold my hand in yours as in the days of old,
I think I should not mind the chill baptismal spray,
Nor find my hand and heart and all the world so cold.
If you could walk with me upon the strand to-day,
And tell me that my longing love had won your own,
I think all my sad thoughts would then be put away,
And I could give back laughter for the Ocean’s moan!
"Longing" by Paul Laurence Dunbar

Sojourner Truth
by Joanna Evans
MAMA (Shaken): I don’t want to hear of this any longer. Besides, what kind of name is Sojourner Truth?
REBECCA: Her real name is Isabella Baumfree. She gave herself the name “Sojourner Truth” after she was freed from slavery. Then she began to travel the countryside to help other slaves to freedom. She’s letting us northerners know that the wrongs that happened in the South happened here, too, right under our very noses. She knows that all people should have the right to be free and the power to vote, and that includes women, black or white.
MAMA (Softening): Rebecca, you are beginning to scare me.
